Elephantine Psoriasis with Papillomatosis and Alternating Hypogranulosis and Hypergranulosis

Histopathology revealed abnormal papillomatosis with finger-like projections in addition to alternating orthokeratosis with overlying...

description Psoriasis is a disease of considerable clinical and histopathological diversity. We report a rare case of elephantine psoriasis responding very well to methotrexate.

We believe that this finding may represent an odd histopathologic type in elephantine psoriasis.
